Rugby League legend Phil Gould has taken the NRL to task over what he deems a 'ridiculous' call on the clash between Reece Walsh and Taylan May.
The Penrith Panthers centre dodged a charge for the incident, much to Gould's approval, but NRL's head of football, Graham Annesley, wasn't too pleased.
Gould's ongoing feud with the NRL has reached new heights as he criticized the decision made by the match review committee regarding May's involvement in the clash that left Walsh injured.
Despite the committee's decision not to charge May, Annesley expressed his dissatisfaction and believed that the incident warranted further action.
In typical Gould fashion, he expressed his disbelief on 100% Footy, questioning the authority behind the decision and the reasoning for the league's involvement.
This clash of opinions highlights the constant battle between players' safety and the intensity of the game, a common theme in Rugby League debates.
As tensions rise and opinions clash, the NRL finds itself caught in the middle of a highly contentious issue with no clear resolution in sight.
Only time will tell how this saga unfolds and whether Gould's criticism will spark any changes within the league's decision-making process.
